GoodTherapy.org is excited to announce our sponsorship of the Good Therapy Foundation’s Therapy Award Scholarship! This scholarship will provide one winner with six months of weekly therapy sessions with the therapist of their choice for free. This is an award valued at up to $2,400!

Therapy can be a very rewarding journey towards improved mental and emotional health. People seek therapy for a wide variety of reasons–relationship troubles, anxiety, stress, lifestyle changes, grief and loss, transitions, depression, help with specific conditions like bipolar or schizophrenia. You can see a list of and read about common issues treated in therapy. There is no right or wrong reason for seeking the help of a mental health specialist.

Entries to the Therapy Award Scholarship will not be published publicly and will only be viewed by the GoodTherapy.org team.

Please note this does not guarantee access to free therapy or provide immediate services. If you are experiencing thoughts of suicide, or thoughts of hurting yourself or others, call the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-273-8255. If you are experiencing a life threatening emergency or crisis, please visit our crisis resource page and get help as soon as possible.
